WORKSHOP: RCA Coastal Coach Practical Workshop (Victoria)

Workshop Overview:

The RCA Coastal Coach Workshop is intended for coaches who will be working with coastal rowers.

This workshop is divided into two components – a virtual component and an in-person component. Coaches should plan to attend a virtual component and an in-person component in the same season if possible as the content is interconnected.

In the coastal workshops you will learn about and discuss: coastal rowing safety, training and race skills, boat handling, rigging, and Rules of Racing.
